The Ake Site is a name for a prehistoric archaeological location near the town of Datil in the San Augustine Basin of Catron County, New Mexico. It was listed on the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties in 1975, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. [ (2005) [http://www.nmhistoricpreservation.org/documents/22.DOCUMENT.pdf NM Registered Cultural Properties By County: Catron] . New Mexico Historical Preservation Division.] The Ake Site is particularly important for the age and length of its use by prehistoric peoples. It has been dated during the Clovis period between 10999 BC 8000 BC, and during the Folsom period between 7999BC and 5999 BC, making it among the oldest sites in the American Southwest.
